If you put half the effort into campaigning against male circumcision as you do harassing women campaigning against FGM you would have made great progress by now. I suggest if you’re serious about preventing male circ you focus your efforts there. I wish you every success.

And I put more effort into that, however we'd also be making progress by now if it weren't for women like Nimco here, who go out of their way to throw boys under the bus when it comes to genital mutilation.

Nimco has down played the damage done by mgm in an attempt to separate the genital cutting debate away from the more controversial position of stsnding up for male rights too so that she can inhabit a safe and uncontroversial «only fgm is bad» position. She’s a disgrace

FGM is what she campaigns against and rightly so, it’s her expertise and lived experience. Denigrating her success because m.circumcision campaigners apparently prefer to abuse Nimco on Twitter rather than fight their cause in a meaningful way is what’s disgraceful.

I’m glad she campaigns against fgm. But when her campaign includes downplaying the harm caused by mgm to make her message more palatable to people who might practice mgm i think she rightly deserves to be called a disgrace and a coward

When a charity focuses on raising money for MS are they ‘downplaying’ the harm caused by cancer and vice versa? No both are worthy causes which deserve their own (separate) campaigns. Harm, re. death/serious injury, if you want to go there, the statistics speak for themselves.

No but if during your charity for MS you say that cancer isn’t as serious your part of the problem. Thats what nimco has done. I do want to go there. Lets talk about harm, deaths caused by circumcision of males snd femsles in both medical and non-medical settings.

Ok, show me the stats. What is the death rate, per 100 for circ vs. FGM? I’m assuming the stats for FGM will also include those who die in childbirth (women and infants) as a result of FGM complications (not just in the aftermath of the procedure itself).

I would choose to see the success of those fighting FGM as a helpful stepping stone which helps bolster the fight against male circumcision as opposed to a hindrance.

So would i. Rxcept that Nimco actively downplayed the damage of male circumcision. Thats not a stepping stone. Thats part of the problem

I think you’re conflating ‘actively downplaying’ with ‘not actively campaigning against’. As for the stats re. harm (if defining harm as serious injury/death) -undeniable fact and reality. What success were anti-circ campaigns having before Nimco started campaigning against FGM?
